Spanish Prosecutors Open Preliminary Probe Into Julio Iglesias Over Sexual Assault Claims

The Audiencia Nacional is conducting a sealed review triggered by a January 5 complaint backed by Women’s Link Worldwide.

Overview

  • Two former in‑house employees accuse the singer of repeated sexual assaults and degrading treatment in 2021 at residences in Punta Cana and Lyford Cay, describing an oppressive work regime.
  • The case is in a pretrial phase under secrecy as prosecutors evaluate jurisdiction and evidence, and no charges have been filed.
  • The complainants submitted photos, audio, messages and documents that were first compiled in a three‑year elDiario.esUnivision investigation.
  • Political fallout has escalated in Madrid, with Más Madrid and the PSOE urging the removal of civic honors while Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Mayor José Luis Martínez‑Almeida oppose revocations.
  • Iglesias and his representatives have not issued a substantive public response to the allegations.
